This episode is a bit dear to my heart, I have accepted that certain beliefs that I used to hold no longer serve me very well in life. I opened up some of my beliefs and why they don’t serve me well anymore. I am now open to the idea that certain ideas will keep evolving so long as I keep developing to be a better person.

I share my realization of being out of grace; running out of certain excuses. You may also be running out of time, perhaps you are already out of grace and may not know it.

Did you know you could be chasing a dream that is not yours? A dream that will ultimately bring you dissatisfaction in life because it is not in alignment with your True Self.

In this episode, I break down how I decipher whether a goal or dream is truly mine or if I am chasing someone else's dream that has been passed on to me.

Do you know the difference between self-worth and self-esteem?

Do you know your self-esteem can affect your self-worth?

Join us to learn more about her personal journey of growth, how self-worth and self-esteem tie into it, and how we can improve our self-worth.

Do you think your skin colour might have an effect on certain experiences you've had?

A call from my brother made me look into one of the many "techniques" that has, and is helping me to be a better person: Showing up.

An abstraction of Freeman Dyson's Frogs and Birds inspired by a TedX video. 

A talk with friend triggered me to look to a few times in my life where exposure to new ideas helped mould me. 

I also talk briefly about how it has helped shaped how I interact with people and new things. 

I share the three types of people I have come across in relation to how they adapt and relate to a new setting, goal or environment. 

This is a continuation of the first episode. I share other areas this could be applied to.

On the very first episode I open up about how I feel under-prepared and using that as a reason not to start.
